DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CAMERA-BASED INTERACTIVE TOUCH SCREENJournal For Research
Camera-based Interactive Touch Screen is a touch detection technique that uses a camera to provide a large display with very high spatial and temporal resolutions. The conventional touch screen technology and presentation methods face a range of restrictions. However, the camera-based touch detection can overcome all these restrictions and turn projection screens into interactive touch displays, creating a through-window experience. It uses a coated sheet of glass as the projection surface to form a two-dimensional display. The camera captures images of the projection surface continuously, which are processed by the Atmega16 microcontroller. A UART module connected to the microcontroller, provides asynchronous serial communication with external devices, synchronisation of the serial data stream and recovery of data characters. This technology has several advantages over other touch detection technologies, such as its low cost, simple design and scalable structure. The applications of this technology include advertising, presentations and outdoor displays.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Types of virtual keyboard
Uses
Advantages
Disadvantages
Future scope & implementations
Conclusion
3. Introduction:-
A virtual keyboard actually is a key-in device, roughly a size of a fountain
pen, which uses highly advanced laser technology.
Virtual keyboard is just another example of a today’s computer trend of
‘smaller and faster’.
The new virtual keyboard technology uses sensor technology and artificial
intelligence to let users work on any surface as if it were a keyboard.
In a virtual keyboard camera tracks the finger movements of the typist to get
the correct keystroke.
The software and hardware part recognizes the typed characters and pass it
to the computer.
4. Need of virtual keyboard:-
The Virtual Keyboard uses the infrared & laser technology to project a full-size
keyboard onto any flat surface. So we can use it almost anywhere.
A virtual keyboard prevents our username or password from being stolen, especially
while using public computers, such as those available in Internet cafes. As the
sequence in which the keys appear will change every time the page is refreshed. So
they are useful from security point of view in Banks, ATM’s.
The Virtual Keyboard is not restricted to the ‘QWERTY’ touch-typing paradigm ;
adjustments can be done to the software to fit other touch-typing paradigms as well,
such as the ‘DVORAK’ keyboard.
5. Inside keyboard:-
The processor in a keyboard has to understand several things that are important to
the utility of the keyboard, such as:
Position of the key in the key matrix.
The speed at which to transmit the typematics.
7. This system comprises of three modules:
1. The sensor module
2. IR-light source and
3. The pattern projector
Virtual keyboard technology:-
8. Sensor module:-
The Sensor Module serves as the eyes of the Keyboard
Perception technology .
The Sensor Module operates by locating the user's fingers
in 3-D space and tracking the intended keystrokes.
Keystroke information processes and can then be output to
host devices.
9. IR Light source :-
The infrared light source emits a beam of infrared light .
This light beam is designed to overlap the area on which the
keyboard pattern projector or printed image resides.
This helps in recognizing the hand movements and the
pressing of keys .
10. Pattern projector:-
The pattern projector or optional printed image presents
the image of the keyboard
This image can be projected on any flat surface.
The projected image is that of a standard qwerty keyboard,
with all the keys and control functions as in the keyboard.
11. System architecture:-
This Fig. shows the physical setup
of the system:-
The 3D range camera is placed several cms over the
input surface, with a well-defined angle facing the
working area.
The size of the working area, limited by the spatial
resolution of the camera, is 15 cm × 25 cm, which is
comparable to a full-size laptop-computer keyboard.
Virtual-keyboard demonstration-
system setup
The display projector is mounted on the camera, facing the same area, which would
generate the visual feedback for the keyboard and input information
12. Different virtual keyboards:-
There are different types of virtual keyboards, manufactured by
various companies which provide different levels of functionalities.
The different types of virtual keyboards are:
1. Developer VKB
2. Canesta
3. Sense board technologies
4. Kitty
5. Infocus
13. Developer VKB:-
Siemens procurement logistics services rechargeable batteries similar to
those in cell phones.
As a class 1 laser, the output power is below the level at which eye injury
can occur.
14. Canesta:-
In the canesta keyboard the same laser is also used to scan the projection field
and extract 3D data.
They also have a chip set, electronic perception technology, which they supply
for 3rd parties to develop products using the projection/scanning technology.
15. Sense board technologies:-
Here the image is not projected on to any surface.
The sense board sb04 technology is an extreme case of a hybrid approach. The
sensing transducer is neither a laser scanner nor a camera. Rather, it is a
bracelet-like transducer that is worn on the hands which captures hand and
finger motion.
Sensors made of a combination of rubber and plastic are attached to the user's
palms in such a way that they do not interfere with finger motions.
16. Kitty:-
KITTY, an acronym for Keyboard-Independent Touch-Typing, is a Finger mounted
keyboard that uses touch typing as a method of data entry.
It is a revolutionary finger mounted keyboard for wearable computers pocket pc’s
and pda’s alike.
17. Infocus :-
They do not use laser technology. This has that advantage of delivering high
quality colour images with a mature technology like video camera.
It has the disadvantage of larger size, lower contrast, and higher power
requirements, compared to laser projection systems.
18. Uses of virtual keyboard:-
To make notes during smart classes, business meeting and in library as no
one will hear your keying sound.
For those people who travel a lot , it is useful to carry being small in size
and lighter in weight , even you can put it in your shirt’s pocket.
It is useful in hospitals where low noise is essential.
It can be use in gaming control and TV remote control.
19. Advantages of virtual keyboard:-

proof and hence less prone to
damage when spills occur.
Maintenance of the laser
keyboards is much easier.
20. Disadvantages:-
Tactile feel is not possible.
Dirty screens.
Virtual keyboards is hard to get used to. since it involves typing in thin air,
hence it requires a little practice. Only people who are good at typing can
use it efficiently.
It is very costly ranging from 150-200 dollars.
The room in which virtual keyboard is used should not be very bright so that
the keyboard is properly visible.
21. Future scope & implementations:-
Laser keyboards can be embedded into ATM’s.
Laser keyboards can be used into space crafts as they are very lighter
and smaller.
It can be embedded into digital lockers into banks, hostels for entering
passwords and digital door lockers based on passwords.
